Chiropractic

Chiropractic is concerned with improving function of the musculo-skeletal system and in particular, the spine. It is a method of locating areas of mechanical dysfunction that could be contributing to poor mobility, pain and discomfort. Specific, gentle adjustments help to restore correct movement and relieve pain.

People most commonly consult a Chiropractor for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculo-skeletal system and treatment can be helpful for many complaints, including back pain, neck pain, other joint disorders and some headaches. Your chiropractor may also use additional tools such as massage techniques and exercise advice to assist your recovery.

McTimoney Chiropractic

McTimoney Chiropractic is a holistic approach to chiropractic care and so at every session, the entire body is assessed. The precise, gentle adjustments are comfortable to receive and are suitable for people of all ages, including the very young, very elderly and pregnant women (after the first trimester).

Your chiropractor will work alongside a variety of medical and allied health professionals to ensure all your healthcare needs are addressed appropriately.

Late cancellations

Due to a high number of late cancellations, appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will incur a fee of £10. This cancellation fee is open to practitioner discretion, but will be applied in most cases unless there are very exceptional circumstances.
